Schevill Ferdinand, "The Balkan Peninsula and the Near East, a history from the earliest times to the present day", G. Bell and Sons, London, 1922. 8vo, pp. vii, 558. Complete including 15 maps (one folding). A study on the history of the Balkans from the Roman time until the end of the World War I, with special chapters for the Byzantine epoch, the Ottoman epoch, and the "Epoch of Liberation" from the end of the 19th century to the Balkan Wars and the WWI. The work ends in an interesting conclusion chapter entitled "The New Phase of an ancient problem", which opens with the Paris treaties of 1919 & 1920 and the Treaty of Sevres, prophetically stating that the Balkans are entering in a new era of uncertainty. Rare.
